Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Alison draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's perspective guides the work - this approach highlights personal strengths and supports self-discovery, making it useful for issues like low self-esteem and life transitions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is often applied to reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety by teaching practical coping strategies. For clients processing traumatic or distressing memories, Alison may integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured method that assists people in reprocessing painful experiences and reducing their emotional intensity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alison helps clients explore different methods and tailors treatment based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across life changes, and connect with licensed professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations.
